Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA PS 23 0009
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and specifically the National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Advancing Policy as a Public Health Intervention to Reduce Morbidity, Mortality and Disparities in HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STDs, and Tuberculosis" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA PS 23 0009; CFDA: 93.084). The core idea is that policy can function like a public health intervention: when laws, regulations, and administrative policies are designed and implemented using evidence, they can prevent infections, improve health outcomes, reduce avoidable deaths, lower long-term healthcare costs, and narrow health inequities affecting communities at higher risk for HIV, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases, and tuberculosis.
The opportunity focuses on strengthening the capacity of decision-makers in public health to identify and apply science-based policy interventions. Rather than funding direct clinical services, the emphasis is on building the ability to use data, research, and structured policy methods to choose interventions that work in real-world settings and that can be scaled across jurisdictions. This includes helping leaders understand what policy options exist, which options are supported by evidence, and how to implement them effectively within the legal and political realities of their state, county, city, tribal nation, or organizational setting.
A central requirement is the use of legal epidemiology and policy analysis. Legal epidemiology is the systematic, scientific study of law as a factor in the cause, distribution, and prevention of disease and injury in a population. In practice, this means the awardee would map and describe how relevant laws and policies are written and applied, compare approaches across jurisdictions, and examine how those differences relate to outcomes such as infection rates, testing uptake, linkage to care, treatment continuity, and other prevention and care benchmarks. Policy analysis then builds on that foundation by assessing how different legal or regulatory approaches may produce measurable health and economic effects, including costs avoided through prevention, changes in healthcare utilization, and impacts on disparities between demographic or geographic groups.
Beyond research and analysis, the awardee is expected to provide legal and/or policy technical assistance. This assistance is aimed at public health leaders and other officials navigating complex, jurisdiction-specific policy environments where authority, enforcement, funding streams, and stakeholder interests may differ widely. The technical assistance component is intended to help leaders translate evidence into actionable policy strategies, anticipate implementation barriers, align proposed changes with existing legal frameworks, and apply best practices in a way that fits local conditions. The awardee would also develop tools and resources that are publicly accessible, so that policy guidance, analyses, and practical implementation materials can be used broadly rather than remaining limited to a single partner or project.
Eligibility for this cooperative agreement was broad, spanning many types of entities that might realistically support policy research and technical assistance at scale. Eligible applicants included state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (including small businesses); and, in general, an unrestricted category open to entities meeting the listed criteria, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on November 2, 2022, with an original closing date of February 1, 2023, and applications were due electronically by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the due date. The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects substantial involvement in the funded work, such as collaboration on priorities, methods, deliverables, dissemination, or alignment with broader federal public health strategies. The notice anticipated two awards, and the award ceiling was listed as 0 in the source data, which often indicates that a specific maximum was not provided in that field of the listing and would need to be confirmed in the full funding announcement or related budget guidance.
Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to move policy work from ad hoc decision-making toward a more rigorous, evidence-driven approach, using legal epidemiology to understand the policy landscape and policy analysis to measure what works and what it costs. By combining research, evaluation, technical assistance, and publicly available tools, the program aims to help jurisdictions adopt and implement policies that reduce illness and death while directly addressing disparities in HIV, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB.Apply for CDC RFA PS 23 0009
